The Brewery Market

If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion - perhaps one-offs with limited capacity should be tapped a little ways into the event? (2-3pm)

Also if you could find a way to get the playground/splash pad licensed that would be nice

But then how would we get people there at first call?

Sounds like a great one...I still haven't made it out to a Brewery Market. Between this and Smokeless casks it seems I need to stay in the city one of these Sundays...

One of the coolest things about this event is that it's very much a neighbourhood event - lots of people stolling over from the playground to check it out. Very cool.

I don't think breweries should hold back anything until a specific time unless they choose to do so.

It would have been nice to try the Citra PA or the Espresso Porter, and I wish Amsterdam brought more, but in the end there is no reason to fault anyone but myself for not getting there at 1.

Also - I'm glad you were able to get a refund on the second of the two beer tokens you bought (yup Sammy, you were spotted). God forbid you should drink a beer you've already had.

Hilarious. I'll have to make sure no refunds are given next time.

I bought four beer tickets, but had to leave for the Marlies game with one left over. I just gave it away to the first person who wanted it. The thought of a refund never crossed my mind.

Just keep busting out the nice weather!

I think we can all agree that the breweries should just not pour anything until I get there right? Problem solved?

We are going to be back at the Wychwood Barns for another summer Brewery Market series beginning May 27th. I'm in the process of assigning the dates to breweries, so if you are a brewery and would like to participate please e-mail me at info@brewerymarket.com.

Just got the latest newsletter from The Stop, and it looks like the Brewery Market has undergone a name change. What's the scoop, Cass?

-----

Kicking off The Stop's 2012 Beer Garden Series, May 27

Are you a fan of bocks, dunkels and porters? Want to learn about hops and malt while you’re sipping on stout? You'll be happy to hear that The Stop's Sunday afternoon beer garden is back, with a new slate of participating craft breweries and a whack of new snacks! Come out to our Sheltered Garden on May 27 for the first event of the 2012 series, featuring beers by Muskoka Brewery, nibblies by Scott+Ashley+Mandy, and the usual nice, relaxed atmosphere.

This event is not the Brewery Market, nor will the Brewery Market be held at the Barns this summer. I'm not involved in this with The Stop. I'll explain more in a little bit.

The good news is that we'll be having actual Brewery Market events this summer, so stay tuned for more details!

Hmm...If it's not Cass, then that's kind of disingenuous saying that it's "back".

Be interested in hearing the story, Cass.

We will be returning on Monday, May 21st. Will get up the news soon, along with at least some of the story of what happened. Save the date.

We'll have events in Toronto and (hopefully) at least one other city in Ontario this summer.

We will not be at our old location at The Stop. Although what they're doing will likely be very similar to the old Brewery Market, I'm not a part of that.
